Sorry, her visa expires in Feb 2013. and i mentioned we already married but we are not. We have a plan to marry in UK. Could you tell me what are the documents do i require before i marry her in UK. I am maintaining funds £800 in my bank account from 1st January 2011. She also maintaining £800 funds from last 5 months. Can i apply for a Dependency visa after marriage. Are there any rules changing from April 2011 for a PSW dependent visa. Once again sorry for my first question but the above information in correct. Thank you

As neither of you are British National you will both require a Certificate of Approval for marriage so that you can marry each other here. You should apply for this immediately because it can take some time, even though they state they aim to complete all applications within 20 days.

Once you have the COA you can marry. Here is the link to the page on the UKBA website giving all the information you require in order to apply for and obtain a COA:-

Once you are married you can then apply to become a dependent of your wife. Here is the link to the relevant page on the UKBA website where you can find all the necessary information to make the application.

If you subsequently choose to re-switch to another visa category under the points based system then you will need to leave the UK and make an application from your home country.
